Motivation and Objective of the Workshop

Water, energy, and food are the fundamental human basic needs.  From the rapid growing urbanization, the consumption of these resources became competitive, created significant pressure on the supply chain and generated many environmental issues. Water, energy, and food have a strong correlation and cannot individually be managed. The water food energy nexus (WEF) is a novel concept to sustainably development strategies by integrating the management of these resources simultaneously. 
The objectives of this workshop are to identify overlapping issues regarding WEF and determine collaborative topics and mechanism for research collaboration in the Asia Pacific Region. Participants will be engaged in brainstorming and discussion sessions as well as sharing best practices and experiences for their home countries.
